An unexpected last day in Seoul
Today was our last day in Seoul, capital of South Korea, and it’s one that didn’t go to plan. However, unlike our first day here, it’s one that didn’t go to plan in a positive way and one that created some great memories. A relaxing start to the day We […]

Last full day in the DPRK
Today was long and packed with activities but fairly relaxed as everything we saw was in Pyongyang so there wasn’t as much travelling. When I woke up the daily mist had finally lifted and there were clear views all the way across Pyongyang which gave me a chance to take […]
Nampo & The Mass Games
I’m sat back at the Yanggakdo hotel right now after what has been a long but amazing day we saw so many things today and were finally able to see the Mass Games. I’m still in awe about the show, but more about that later. I got up at 6 […]
